Description of Work: William explained what he was going to do & how surge protection works. It didn't take long to install surge breaker on the electrical box. Also if I have any problems or further questions to give him a call. Simple, clean & quick.

Description of Work: Very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions in laymens terms that I could understand. Provided an estimate for repairs as I had requested. Also discussed "good to have" versus "serious" issues in case I wanted to do in phases. Very good experience and would definitely recommend this company!

Description of Work: Four fluorescent light fixtures were switched with regular fixtures purchased by me. The work was done very well. It would have been a nice extra if he had caulked the holes left in the ceiling by the former fixtures, but we were very happy with the service in general, and would call them again.

Description of Work: We have had some issues with our breaker box with one switch overheating. He looked at everything on each breaker and made recommendations with pricing for what needed to be done. There was no hard sell, and he also told us we had additional room on that panel when we thought it was maxed out. Very polite and professional.

Description of Work: We had an outlet that was improperly installed by another contractor and it shorted out. They repaired the short even though it required going into our very small crawlspace! They seemed very concerned about our safety and were willing to work with our schedules. I will definitely contact them if I have any electrical work I need done. They were wonderful!
